TMI, but I don't think I poop enough. So on Sat nites I take a mild stool
softener. I don't work Sun or Mon, gives my body a chance to clean out. Made a difference in my weight just enough.
Not laxatives to lose wgt, but a little help with moving what won't move!

Hey,

You are certainly going to have ups and downs but I think the best way to get through them is upping your protein and drinking more water! That's what has worked for me in the stalls, Of course I've only had two and a couple major complication so it may not be the same for you, but give it a shot....... It's what I was told from the start and what is recommended by my nut. Protein builds the muscle and the water flushes the fats.... So I'm told :)

Bt seriously don't worry about it.... Maybe is poop weight, or water weight..... A couple isn't a big worry unless it becomes a habit!

I donno about everyone but my wieght will fluctuate 3 or more pounds from day to day. like some others said water and 'poop' do make a difference. I take stool softeners and daily fiber powder prescribed by my doctor. I tried milk of magnesia, don't do that! It works too good! Of course unless your doctor says to use it.

What stlucia said is true. I was constipated for about 4 days. Finally took a stool softener an it cleaned me out in about 4 hours. Stepped on the scale an saw I lost 3 pounds from it. I had just did my weekly weigh in that morning. I was curious to see if not going added on the weight. An well, yes it does.

Thanks for the reassurance everyone. Sure enough, those three pounds plus two more came off over the weekend. Was it "poo weight"? Can't say for sure. Could be a very stressful week last week that has now leveled out somewhat. In any case, I did increase protein, activity and water, and that can't be bad at all. :)

NEVER take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time at night
just sayin

PMSing maybe ?@? I fluctuate 1-3 lbs the week before and during my period.

Lol @ "poo weight." I love this site.
